EDITORS COMMENTS
The Amateur Boxing Association Competition at St James's Hall (engraving) captures a moment of intense sportsmanship and affectionate rivalry. In this 19th-century artwork, the distinguished English School artist skillfully portrays the atmosphere of a hard-fought boxing match in London. The image depicts two boxers engaged in a thrilling counter-attack, their gloves hitting with precision and force. The lights above them have been extinguished, leaving only a dim glow that adds to the intensity of the scene. As onlookers watch attentively from all sides, fluttered feathers can be seen floating in the air, evidence of the passionate energy surrounding this event. Intriguingly, amidst this display of strength and skill, there is an unexpected touch of tenderness. A royal professor stands nearby observing with affectioned eyes; his presence suggests both admiration for these amateur fighters and perhaps even some personal connection to one or both competitors. This engraving beautifully encapsulates not only the physicality but also the emotional depth present within such sporting competitions. It reminds us that even in moments where aggression prevails, there can still exist an underlying sense of respect and camaraderie among athletes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece as part of their Fine Art Finder collection – a testament to their commitment to showcasing historical artworks that provoke thought and evoke emotions.
